I've had my Desire since it came out but a problem has just come up: the phone will shut down whenever the SIM card is inserted. Without it it'll work fine, but if i put it in, when it boots, as soon as it tries to connect to the network it'll shut down. I've tried a different SIM card and the problem is the same.
This started by using MIUI but i've clean installed a CM7 based rom and the problem is still there.
My phone is out of warranty so taking it in is not worth it.
Thanks
Did you try to flash a new radio.img?
No i havn't, i, rather stupidly, hadn't thought of that..... i guess i thought that when i flashed a new rom i'd get a new radio!
When you run RUU you get a new radio, but ordinary custom roms don't have that option.
I flashed the latest radio and the problem remains the same.........:crying:
Any other ideas?!
Then it's probably a hardware issue. You can try to disassemble it and try to fix connectors.
I'm now completly los now; the phone switches off with 3 different sim cards but not witha forth!!! I'll have the SIM card replaced even though it does work fine in my HTC ChaChaCha........
Very strange!
Thanks for your help anyway, it's obviously got to do with the card and not the phone so i guess the solutions been found!!
I have had the same problem, until yesterday. I'm running a cooked ICS ROM, and the issue has gone as soon as I have switched to a newer RIL. So don't take it for granted that it's a hardware issue or SIM-related. Hope this helps.

My help
you just have to activate the pin code on security and location setting
but the SIM card must be inserted to activate the pin code
If you never activate the pin code, then the default code is usually 0000
if the phone is turned off before you have to get to the temp setting reply me and i'll tell u what to do
If it worked for u don't forget to hit thanks
Hello everyone, I've seen some other threads about similar signal loss issues or problems on the i927 around xda, but none of them worked or were compatible with the type of problem I'm having. I recently installed the January 6, 2013 build of Paranoid Android v2.+ on my i927, and it works great. However, I've been having one major issue that renders my phone useless. After about an hour or so of having the phone on, I lose ALL signal to my cell network (AT&T). There are no signal bars, no messages/MMS/calls can be made or sent, and I end up having to reboot my phone for it to function properly again for another hour or two.
I've tried what some users around xda have suggested such as taping my SIM card in place or wiping cache/dalvik cache in recovery, but as of yet nothing has worked
If anyone can help me, it would be GREATLY appreciated. I'm stumped at this point after exhausting all the options I thought would work. I really want to keep this ROM on my phone, it works better than stock or any other ROM I've tried yet by far.
Thanks in advance!

ALSO, I can post screenshots or any additional information if it's helpful in any way.
How did you unlock? I've had problems with signal when I unlocked via galaxsim unlock tool. Check your /efs/Nv.log for errors, I had an error connected with md5 sum every second or so.
For me, the other unlock way solved all the problems.
can you see in about, your imei, maybe is corrupt. see this link, maybe help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2019540
I haven't unlocked my phone, it was sold to me as an AT&T phone. I don't think my IMEI should be the problem

I also experienced this issue on 4.1.2, so I moved to 4.2.1 hoping to avoid it, yet this morning issue happened again with thegreatergood's i927 - CM10.1 - 1/22/2013. My IMEI is ok, unlocked by entering the unlock code given to me by ATT.
Note I am able to restore connection by switching on and off airplane mode, might save the time of reboot.

Yeah, I've tried every now and then to reset my connection by toggling airplane mode on/off, and it usually works for me too. I'm just stumped on why there's an issue with the signal at all to begin with, it doesn't make sense to me
I confirm, I also experience connection lost from time to time. And I also restore it with switching airplane mod on/off.
The same problem with 4.2.1
Hi! I had the same problem with the phone. The signal was totally off. I was using LiquidSmoth 4.2.1. I gave a solution flashing the rom another time.
I've seen this on AT&T's ICS firmware, it gave me this issue often and for me a reboot was the only fix.
I've upgraded to CM 10.1 and I am hoping it fixed the problem. If not, I will try flipping airplane mode off and on, I don't like battery out reboots, but if it doesn't any more suggestions welcome.
Thanks.

I've been using cm10.1 for months now & haven't had any issue with signal dropping. Did have if happen with other roms, but I think it's something to do with the kernel more than the rom. They just released rc1 of cm10.1 has the latest kickass kernel.
Hey guys, I'm just about at my wit's end trying to figure this out.. I'm on a SGH-747M running CM 10.2 and my phone works great without a SIM inswrted, but the moment I insert my SIM the phone locks up and restarts a few seconds after startup.
I picked up the SIM (Fido) a few days ago and for the first day it worked fine (which leads me to think that the problem doesn't lie with CM) but after I turned my phone of that night, the SIM problems started.
I've taken a few steps to try and fix the problem but nothing has worked yet:
- flashed the latest modem for rogers/fido
- flashed the latest bootloader for the 747M on rogers/fido
- tried a different SIM, same problems. Tried my SIM in another phone and it works with no problems (* my phone was used before on stock by a family member with a Fido SIM with no issues!)
- tried inserting the SIM while the phone is running but the phone doesn't seem to register it or find any networks
- at this point I thought it may be an app that was conflicting with the SIM on startup so I disabled most of the apps from starting on boot
- tried using acatlog and acatref to keepnl a log but both just show a blank screen when checking the log (apparently a common problem based on reviews in the play store)
I'm one step away from pulling my hair out Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Hi guys, I'm experiencing a problem with B634 (b512 and b513 also).
Few times a day I take my phone and it's asking me for pin number to sim card...
Looks like phone is not rebooting itself, just loosing signal and then phone requires PIN (to unlock SIM).
I read something about similar problem on nexus 4, they recommended to set radio on "WCDMA Only", but unfortunately it doesn't work in my case
I did factory reset every time while upgrading firmware...
Haven't noticed same problem on JB...
please anyone help me, I think I'll have to go back to JB if i don't find any solution
Thanks in advantage!
Hi.
I know there was a lot of threads about this issue on the forum, but I've tried every possible solution to this and none of them helped. When I'm on a custom ROM, my phone very often loses signal and switches from 4G to 3G but it also tends to show a "sim card removed" error and I usually have to reboot my device a couple of times to get it working. When I'm on a stock Marshmallow, everything's fine. Do you guys have any idea what to do about this issue? Or is there any ROM that doesn't have this bug?
